Trucking Made Easy

 

Trucking is an amazing career with the potential to make great money ($35-$60k your 1st year!), see the country, experience adventure, overcome challenges, and even be your own boss.

Trucking can be all that...

IF you know just what you're getting into, get the right training, AND you have an expert guide to show you the way!

When I first got into trucking back in 1992, I did not know a thing about trucking. After seeing an employment ad in the newspaper from a trucking company offering to train even inexperienced drivers and help get them their CDL, I figured... Why not give it a shot? I needed a change of pace from the same old 9 to 5 routine, and trucking sure seemed to fit the bill.

I'd soon be on the road, thoroughly trained and prepared to make a lot of money and successfully living the trucking life. Right?

Boy, was I wrong. I had no idea of what I was getting into, or even a clue of how to get there. The training I received at this certain truck driving school (one sponsored by a very well known trucking company) left me poorly trained and unprepared to succeed in the big world of trucking.

I had to learn trucking the hard way...by trial and error. In fact, this took years.
